The NPAPI sandbox is off by default. The "dom.ipc.plugins.sandbox.flash" pref will only enable the sandbox for Flash. There is another pref, "dom.ipc.plugins.sandbox.default", that will enable the sandbox for all NPAPI plugins, including Java. I didn't mention the "default" pref because we wanted people to focus their testing on Flash, but if you find any Java crashes or bugs with the "default" pref, please let us know!

thanks,
chris

Do any of these affect NPAPI Java behaviour somehow? (ie: can it break applet running or privileges?)
Thanks.

    Bob Owen just landed a basic sandbox for Firefox's NPAPI plugin
    container (bug 1123245) in Nightly 38. This NPAPI sandbox is
    orthogonal to Adobe's Flash Protected Mode sandbox.

    The sandbox is Windows-only and preffed off for now. To enable it,
    flip the "dom.ipc.plugins.sandbox.flash" pref to true. Flash
    features that could use focused testing are file
    uploads/downloads, camera/mic access, and clipboard.

    A more restricted NPAPI sandbox is coming in bug 1123759.
